Default I'm having problems recently.

'I'm having problems recently.'

My question is 'recently.' Once again, my college professor student has called me out in class. I said this in class and she questioned the use of 'recently' and said she always corrects this 'mistake' when her students make it. She changes it to either:
'I've been having problems recently.' or
'I'm having problems these days.'

I said that grammatically and in written form, her usage is correct, but that it's not an uncommon oral formation.

What do you think?
